"working in development" involves reading and developing screenplays, books, articles, pitches, sketches, comic books, video games, etc. and making them into films. i worked on scripts that ranged from penelope to munich. i met some of the most talented and creative people on the planet and had the honor to work with a handful of them.

i assisted wes anderson's producer, barry mendel, soon after the royal tenenbaums hit the theaters. i was a huge fan of anderson's and danced a little dance when barry gave me the criterion collection of wes's films.
